Geoffrey Young, publisher of The Figures, explores the collaborative process of book publishing and interweaves discussion of the publishing process with anecdotes of his experiences. A conversation with other small press publishers, including Jill Schoolman of Archipelago Books, Robert Hershon of Hanging Loose Press, James Sherry of Roof Books, and Anna Moschovakis and Matvei Yankelvich of Ugly Duckling Presse, will follow.

In this talk, Vijay Seshadri will examine the origins and the scope of Bishop's visionary ambitions, her complicated, paradoxical relationship to the religious traditions that shaped her thought, and, finally, her ability to expose, in small poems and large, the fundamental questions underlying our experience.

A joint initiative with the Poetry Society of America, Branching Out: Poetry for the 21st Century is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
